How to achieve a high grade in GCSE Italian

  1. 1 Learn how to give your opinion and include it whenever you can in your writing and speaking –

    Mi piace/piacciono -- Non mi piace/piacciono,

    Adoro -- odio,

    Secondo me -- Penso che + subjunctive -- Credo che + subjunctive.
  2. 2 Use connectives to extend your sentences –

    e,

    o,

    ma,

    allora,

    dunque,

    perché,

    quindi,

    poi,

    dopo.
  3. 3 Use past, present and future tenses and indicate them with time phrases/adverbs. If you are writing, for example, about healthy lifestyle it is a good idea to start with a paragraph talking about what you normally do, then something you did last week and finally what you plan to do in the future.

    L'anno scorso sono andato/a in Italia.

    Generalmente non bevo alcolici.

    La settimana prossima mangerò molto cioccolatini.

    Più (adjectve) di/che...

    Meno (adjective) di/che...
